The Graduate Committee is charged with a broad range of graduate student affairs, both for Masters and PhD students.

Department Executive Committee Student Representative

Cecilia Mauceri

Contact: cecilia.mauceri@colorado.edu

The student member of this committee is considered to be the senior student representative. This committee usually meets once a week and is concerned with all Department issues: budget, space, promotions, etc. The Executive Committee also reviews applications from prospective new faculty members. The student representative sits on both the Executive Committee and the Search Committee with one full vote. This position provides an excellent opportunity to see how an academic Department is really run. Sometimes the representative is required to poll graduate student opinion and is usually in charge of taking prospective new faculty members out to lunch with a group of graduate students.

United Government of Graduate Students is the primary advocacy group for graduate and professional students on the CU Boulder campus. They are committed to enhancing the graduate student experience by interacting with CU administration and the University of Colorado Student Government (CUSG) concerning issues such as financial aid, graduate stipends, healthcare, tuition and fees and graduate student well-being. Graduate students from each department and program are solicited to serve on the UGGS Assembly, ensuring diverse representation of the graduate student body. There are two student representatives on UGGS, but any student can attend UGGs meetings. Meetings are held bi-weekly on Mondays, from 5:00 - 6:00 PM.
